Speedball 9" x 11.75" Speedy-Carve Block Pink, For Block Printing, Stampers, Carving, Lino Blocks, Craft Art Tools For Tool Kit

Speedball’s Speedy-Carve Blocks are designed for relief printmaking. They have a soft, putty-like surface which is easier to cut than traditional linoleum, and are designed for use with lino-cutting tools. As they are flexible, Speedy-Carve Blocks can be used to print onto flat or curved surfaces. As in lino-cutting, the desired design is cut in reverse into the surface of the block with gouges or knives. Water-soluble or oil-based ink is then transferred to the raised, uncut areas of the block using a roller/brayer. The design can be printed onto paper or fabric, in a press or by hand. The blocks are Latex-free. Dimensions: 23 x 30 cm Thickness: 0.6 cm
